Title: Porsche Calipers Fitted :)
Post by: Hoggy on 05 July 2012, 21:07

Well my Porsche front brakes arrived today so tonight I thought I would have dummy fitting as I haven't got the hoses yet.

Fitting them was a doddle and I'm really pleased with the results!

All comments welcome :)

Cheers, Hoggy.
